If you were an early Internet kid you'll recall a little app called WinAmp that was, in short, the best MP3 player ever made ever. The little program looked like skeuomorphic stereo receiver with a full range of equalizer sliders and included an important MP3 that explained WinAmp's primary mission: whipping the llama's ass.
A programmer named Jordan Eldredge has created an homage to WinAmp in JavaScript. The widget allows you to create a standalone music player on any web page and it can be styled with themes straight out of WinAmp history. You can try it out here and download the code here.
"The original inspiration was a realization that Winamp skins were implemented in a very similar way to CSS sprites," said Eldredge. "I spent many hours as a teenager playing with Winamp skins. In fact, it was the first constructive creative work I did on a computer."
The emulator uses the Web Audio API to simulate almost everything WinAmp could do in its original incarnation.

On SN we discuss and debate but don't spew useless insults, certainly not without having an account yourself.
Try again but this time with arguments.

Exactly. When we call you a cockbiting fucktard, we'll go into detail as to why you're a cockbiting fucktard. Possibly even how to remedy that condition.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

The real irony is the guy complaining about the UI is the same assclown who insists on posting everything in monospace.
